Rich Bryson will be speaking on the topic of forgiveness this Sunday, so I've been looking for songs that mention forgiveness. In my search I stumbled on a stanza of And Can It Be? that I've never seen in any hymnal. This is one of my favorite hymns, and I love this unsung verse, too!
Still the small inward voice I hear,
That whispers all my sins forgiven;
Still the atoning blood is near,
That quenched the wrath of hostile Heaven.
I feel the life His wounds impart;
I feel the Savior in my heart.
Amazing love! how can it be
that Thou my God shouldst die for me?
Charles Wesley, 1738
